This is the sixth year of the Y’s A Greater Impact Campaign. The Y is grateful to the donors to date who have made investments to renovate the main facility, including the field house, increase the endowment, and enhance Camp Knickerbocker.
The final phase of the capital campaign includes critical renovations to support working families and children through improvements to the Harbor Montessori School and Child Enrichment Center and McEvoy Lodge at Camp K . The goal is to refresh spaces that will match the excellent child care and summer camp programs that are so vital in meeting our community’s needs.
The 2024 Annual Fund and the 2024 Camp K Financial Aid Fund are separate funding priorities from the capital campaign. They are essential initiatives that provide services to the community year-round. We are asking donors to consider multi-year pledges to the Annual Fund, Camp K, and the Capital Campaign this year, if possible.
Thank you for considering your support of children and working families in the Boothbay region community!
